Chapter 3 Installing the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents

Installation and Migration Overview

Figure 3-1 Supported Migration Paths

The CSA MC V5.2 installation does not automatically upgrade or overwrite the older installations. Ultimately, the migration process will allow you to import your older configuration items into the newly installed V5.2 system. It will also allow you to migrate hosts to V5.2. After installing V5.2, it is expected that you will spend some time examining how policies and other functionality has changed between versions and you will gradually apply the V5.2 policies to the migrated hosts.

Caution For Scenario 2 in Figure 3-1, you should not uninstall V5.1 until you have migrated all agents to V5.2. Once you install V5.2, you can apply hotfixes to the old V5.1 version, but you cannot install a V5.1 version of the product once the V5.0 version is installed in a one system installation scenario.

If you do apply hotfixes to an old V5.1 version after you install V5.2, you have to manually restart the CSA MC system for both MCs to begin running again.

When you install CSA MC V5.2 on the same system as V5.1, you have multiple versions to select from on the login page. The CSA MC V5.2 installation also creates a new directory structure. Refer to the following:
